Member for Cootamundra Steph Cooke has announced grants totalling $300,000 for 12 projects across the electorate thanks to the latest round of funding under the Community Building Partnership Program.
Ms Cooke said the funding will deliver much-needed improvements and equipment to local facilities.
“I congratulate the organisations that were successful in their application and look forward to seeing these projects make a real difference for community groups in the area,” Ms Cooke said.
“We know how important it is to support our non-for-profit groups so that they can continue to do what they enjoy, which is supporting the local community.
“This program has been hugely successful in the Cootamundra electorate over the years, allowing local groups to undertake a wide range of projects.
“These investments are about helping to deliver positive social and recreational outcomes, while also promoting community participation, inclusion, and cohesion,” she said.
